Novaland is looking freaking bomb. SO. AMAZING. Not only is LHR a serious bias for me, but the styling looks fantastic, his character looks super cool, HE looks in character, and from the posters, the rest of the cast is great too.

上海女子图鉴 is actually Women in Shanghai, which is the SISTER drama (as in, it’s by the same production company and takes place in the same universe) to Women in Beijing 北京女子图鉴, which was a webdrama starring Qi Wei that was released throughout April. The synopsis sounds somewhat similar (though different cities = different story—I hope Wang Zhen’er’s character can be very different from Qi Wei’s Chen Ke), but I see some of the cast from Burning Ice? And Li Xian?

Also, Lost in 1949 isn’t airing on May 11—they pushed it back to June recently.

Everyone go watch His Excellency’s 1st Love / Moonshine and Valentine! I initially wasn’t interested but saw a weibo vid of the two leads’ younger versions and it was so wholesome I just had to check out the drama.

It’s been quite enjoyable to watch so far (there’s the usual drama tropes but feels refreshing). I didn’t skip through any scenes and finished 4 episodes in one go. End of my drama drought lol.

Watching Moonshine & Valentine/His Excellency’s First Love right now. Excellent drama, very well paced and surprising very well done. There’s very little hype or promotion for this show before it started to broadcast. The show is basically gaining in popularity through its own merit. Excellent director and great cast overall and I love love the attention to detail in the drama, like in episode 2 when the blind male lead trace the numbers on the credit card when it was handed back!
